Abstract:

Post-structuralist critique researches have been so useful in establishing critique foundations and expanding analytical frameworks, yet the classical methods and past intellectual and philosophical schools are considered the start point of these researches. The author of the book “Mamlakah al-Naṣ, semiotic analysis of rhetorical critique, case study of al-Jurjānī” has analyzed the semiotics aspects al-Jurjānī’s works especially “Asrāru al-Balāghah” as a case of rhetoric critique, due to al-Jurjānī’s special characteristics and extraordinary talent in dealing with texts and its analysis. He has discussed the semiotic aspects of trope, metaphor, simile, allegory and intertextuality in al-Jurjānī’s works. In this paper, after presenting a concise comprehensive review of the book, its from and content will be discussed and criticized. It will be concluded that Muhammad Sālim Saʿdullah’s book has been successful in analyzing the most important rhetorical matters presented by al-Jurjānī according to semiotic principles; although this analysis isn’t faultless in its form and content.
